One of the protests against the existence of God is the appalling evil on this planet. The Bible teaches that evil exists on this planet because of a curse. This curse fell on the world by the fall of Adam and Eve into sin. Satan entered our atmosphere, usurped Adam’s authority and became, in the words of Jesus Christ, the “prince of this world.”
The consistency of God is seen in the sunrise, His protection through the strength and shade of a tree, His provision through the rain, His resurrection through the changing of the seasons, His vastness through the mountains and ocean, His intimacy through the song of a bird.
Where are You God? Everyone has cried out to God, only to receive silence. The reason for God’s quietness is different for every story, situation and person. In the Psalms, King David experiences similar silence, but his reaction can teach us how we should proceed when we don’t hear God answer.
